‍

Follow these step by step guide to access your previous tax returns in TurboTax: 

‍

  1. Log in to your TurboTax account used for filing.
  2. Go to the "Tax Home" section if you are not already there.
  3. Scroll down to the "Tax returns and docs" section.
  4. Choose the prior year you need to access.
  5. Click "Download/print return (PDF)" to view or save your return.

📌 Why this matters

You'll need previous returns for loan applications, tax planning, and resolving IRS inquiries. Beyond these obvious uses, having digital copies protects you from the common scenario where your tax preparer closes, changes systems, or loses records. Many people discover years later that their accountant's files are gone, leaving them scrambling during audits or major financial decisions. Your past returns also reveal patterns in deductions and income that help optimize future filings and catch potential amendments you might have missed.
